Feast of the Total Eclipse

I will go to where the daughters of the north wind roam

and drink the milky way.

Just a sip.


I’ll run my fingers along the green ribbons of the sky

and lay upon the frozen lake

just to hear it sing

that wailing song, older than the ancients.


And perhaps someday I will see the moon swallow the sun

and I will look away out of respect

and feel grateful for the warmth on my skin when it joins this world again.
